Some of the best relationships in life happen by chance - and the meeting of Zoe Ellison and Alex Legendre was no exception. One day whilst Zoe was running Igigi, her inspiring lifestyle store in Brighton, Alex walked into the shop looking for a part-time job…the rest, as they say, is history! “The most important part of this journey was meeting Alex – she has been the most incredible inspiration and friend.” The shop is now a general store, selling homewares, fashion and vintage objets, with a café on the first floor. Though they are from vastly different backgrounds, Zoe and Alex have created a destination store as well as dreamy homes of their own. Their new book, A Life Less Ordinary, is a window into their world and gives an intimate glimpse of the artistry of the beautifully curated interiors of their shop and respective homes. With inspiring photography, tracing paper inlays, and envelopes with gift cards in the book - you will feel inspired by their creativity, and the interiors crafted with pieces they have both found and gathered. Zoe and Alex have a distinct and passionate way of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. A Life Less Ordinary by Zoe Ellison and Alex Legendre is published by Cico Books at £25 and is available online here.
